alpha package not being purged when official version merged/uploaded (cfengine 3.17.0a1-termux -> cfengine 3.17.0)

[craigcomstock]

I submitted a PR for upgrading cfengine to 3.17.0 and it was merged.

When I go to install with pkg install cfengine though I get the previous version.

Looking at https://dl.bintray.com/termux/termux-packages-24/dists/stable/main/binary-arm/Packages I see both versions are still present. This seems incorrect.

I was trying to use https://semver.org/ style to label the alpha release but maybe this isn't quite correct or the upload step doesn't handle this situation yet?

Would a manual purge be in order of the 3.17.0a1-termux packages?

Or can you direct me to the script that could take a change to handle this situation when a PR is merged to master?

You have changed versioning scheme without bumping package epoch.

New version should be 1:3.17.0. I will fix that manually.

@xeffyr thanks!

How would I have known to do this? Just wondering if I can help add to the docs somewhere? I don't see anything here: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/wiki/Creating-new-package

Found it: https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md

thanks! :) Sorry I didn't see it. I didn't realize 3.17.0a1-termux -> 3.17.0 wouldn't be handled.

Got it.

Thanks @xeffyr, works!
